Very good location - close to the University and local amenities. However, very noisy as on a main road

Lovely area and neighbours.
Very close to city centre. Great area to live in and wish that the service from the Letting agency was better

Most of the houses in the street are student houses, but it never seemed to get too noisy and very rarely did any of the neighbouring houses have any loud parties. It is in walking distance of the university and though a bit expensive, the co-op and Salisbury local are nearby make it easy to purchase food. It is also very nice having the Stoughton rec park nearby. The only issue is the property is quite far from the town and train station by foot.

Clicky church community that closes ranks and spreads gossip about you if you challenge their behaviour (8 month long anti dog poo campaign from the CofE school, ignoring complaints and telling lies to the police about the complainants conduct, in order to cover up the fact they ignored local residents requests for them to end the campaign due to littering in the neighbourhood and the tatty state of the signs - stuborn church/school organisation)

Very good location for students, around a 7 minute walk from university. Close to Sainsbury's.

The area is pretty good for going into the city centre. Obviously, it's advisable to be cautious when going out at night and there is an issue with people trying to steal bikes and motorbikes from the car park. Bramall does have a bike shelter which is (sort of) secure. The police are often called out to the neighbouring building and there's been lots of problems from them this year. On the bright side, it is only a 20 minute walk to the Arndale and a 15 minute walk to Salford Uni's main campus. 10 minutes walk away is the bus stop for the number 50 bus to Media City which is free for Salford students. The only other downside is that the nearest supermarket to get to on foot is the Aldi at the Arndale, which is always extremely busy. However, you can take the 50 bus to Salford Shopping City which is a lot quieter.

Very quiet area, and only some noise when the children and teenagers from local schools pass in the morning and afternoon.
The house is joined to the neighbours (also a student property), but there is rarely noise disturbance. There is a garage next door, but this has surprisingly little impact on us.
Some litter from the pavement often comes onto the drive, but this is maintained well by the gardener/landlord and wouldn't take too long to clear up yourself.
There is a few local shops 100m up the road, and more slightly further including a doctors and an Aldi. 15 minutes on the bus towards Swinton there is an Asda, Morrisons and an Aldi. There is also a main bus route towards town and University of Salford (10 minutes - max - to Salford Shopping City and 20 minutes to UoS).
The area is mainly residential and quiet, and only gets busy during rush hours on the main road. At night it is extremely quiet and peaceful. We have had no issues with crime or disturbances during my 2 years living on Bolton Road.

This is the only thing that makes the property bearable Bedminster is a lovely place to live as a student.
